Goodman, Acting Secretary ~ PERON AND THE NAZI WAR CRIMI NALS Tomis Eloy Martfnez Fellcu Wilson Center In May 1965, while on a holiday in the mountains of Cordoba, Argen­ t ina, actress Norma Aleandro met and befriended an old German couple who l oved books and flowers. In the_a f t ernoons, the three took long strolls through a vine-shade d park, where t hey spoke of politics and world affairs. In the evenings, they dined t ogether on borsch, after which the husband would enthusiastically recite poems by Schiller, or his wife would play Schubert pieces on the viol i n. One day, the couple showe d Norma Aleandro one of their most prized possessions : a rare edition of Goethe's Faust, published in Munich around 1850, and bound in a soft s hiny leather which the actress was unable to identify . Curious, she asked the couple what t ype of binding it was. The o ld woman lowered her soft gaze and murmured, "It's Jewi sh skin. My husband was once an official at a concentration camp in Poland ." The furor crea'ted in Argentina by the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann-­ one of those responsible for t he " final solution"--from a Buenos Aires s uburb i n late 1960 had not yet died when Norma Aleandro went public with this story. As usual, t he country found itself divided between those wh o were indignant over the vi olation o f national sovereignty (Eichmann was kid­ napped by an I sraeli connnando and t aken to Jerusalem without the knowledge or permission of the Argentine government), and, on the other hand, those who had been surprised by t he degree of hospitality that the country had apparently offer ed Nazi war criminals under the Juan Peron government in the immediate postwa r era. The migrati on of Nazi s to Argentina was only a rumour when Norma Aleandro related her conversation with the old couple. Years later, be­ tween 196 8 and 1970 , Peron confirmed the fact tha t he had given r efuge to several thousand Nazis f or, he said, "humanitarian reasons , 11 1 and tha t he had allowed t he i mmigration of "five thousand Croats whom Tito had threatened with de ath. 11 2 Disputes over the numbers of emigrants would begin much lat er: in 1982 Simon Wiesenthal, director of the Cente r of Jewish Documentation in Vienna, said that Peron had provided 7, 500 blank Argentine passports to Nazi fugitives. The first I s raeli amb assador to Buenos Aires, Jacob Ts ur, maintained that Weisenthal's calculations were too high, and adde d that Peron's alleged Nazism was but a North American prejudice . "In Washington 's simplistic llerspective," he wrote, "Peron na-d t o oe either a _N~~i _:i r_a_ communist. 11 3 Today few deny that Argentina was one of the principal places of refuge in South Ame rica for German and Croat war criminal s . Th i s paper 2 seeks to explain how these fugitives e ntered the country and why this mi gra­ tion opened and was officially administered by the Argentine government. My remarks today are not t aken f rom the book I have been writing on Peron during my fellowship he re at the Wilson Center. In the book, which I have not yet finished, I attempt to e xamine the complex personal i ty of a military caudillo who in t urn be came the caudillo of the worker masses, dnd who dedicated the better part o f his life towards cons olidating the military classes ' hold over the who l e of Argentine societ y . It i s, of course, important b:oth to know who Pe r on was and to appr eciate his politi­ cal style i n order to understand why he opened the country to the Nazis, and why, in his l ater years in exile i n Santo Domingo a nd Madrid, he c ul ­ tivated friendshi ps with Ge rmans l ike Otto Skorzeny, t he flying ace from the Luftwaffe who rescued Mussolini f rom Mt. Great Sasso in 1943, and Hans-Ulrich Rudel, one of Hermann Goering's trusted pilots.4 There are several reasons why t elling this tale is difficult. First, there are so many contradictor y and opposing alignments among the Argentine armed forces in 1945, that oft en a pro-German officer could also be a lib­ eral demo c rat,5 while another who publicly favored an al lied victory might be writing ant i-British t r e atises decrying that countr y ' s economic vora­ ciousness. 6 Matters are also complicat ed by Peron himself, who seeded his trail with half-truths and f a l se leads. Language--which in itself is al­ ready a form of concealment - -served Pe r on almost unfailingly as a means to misguide and mislead; it seems as i f his words were chosen only to disori­ ent and move us in almost any dire ction except towards t he truth. Joseph Page, in his b i ography of Per6n , has captured the essence of this phenom­ enon in t hese words: "He would never sacrifice practicality on the altar of ideological coherence. 11 7 Prelude: Peron and the Army In order to pick up the t hread of this story, it is he lpful to re­ v i ew certain aspects of Peron 's milita r y background. Fi rst, it is neces­ sary to emphasize t h at Peron, like most of his clas smates at the army academy, was s chooled in Prussian mil itary doctrine. By 1910 , one third of the professor s teaching at t he Superi or War College we re or ha d been members of the Army High Command o f t he German Empire. The Argentines s t udied the strategies of Mo ltke, Hi ndenberg, Ludendor f f , and other Prus­ sian marshals of the Great War in minute detail, seemin gl y f orgetting that the Germans had been defeated. I n his class notes, Peron struggled t o rationa lize t h ese defeats, attributing them to lack of materiel and equipment, or t o the late arrival of reinforcements. The German influence was so perva sive that in order to appreciate its magnitude, one need only examine the "Official Library" catalogue--a col ­ lection of texts s tudied by t h e majority of Argentine captains. Between 1919, the year of its ince ption, and 1929, the library issued a total of 126 publications. Of those, 60 were works translated f r om the German.

  • Eva Braun Hitler's Odontological Identification-A Forensic Enigma?
    J Forensic Sci, Apr. 1974, Vol. 19, No. 2 R. F. Sognnaes, ~ M.A., M.S., D.M.D., Ph.D. Eva Braun Hitler's Odontological Identification-A Forensic Enigma? Through generous cooperation by custodians of several museums, libraries, and govern- ment archive centers, the author has had occasion to explore various historical dental relics and reports covering the evolution of dental art and science over a period ranging from the time of George Washington to that of Adolf Hitler [1,2]. When the Berlin dentist, Dr. Hugo Johannes Blaschke, who cared for Germany's wartime leaders, was captured and interrogated by American army officers in 1945, he prepared descriptions and diagrams of the dental condition of Adolf Hitler, as well as of Martin Bormann and of Eva Braun, Hitler's longtime female companion whom he married just before the end of the war. By comparing American and Soviet reports it has been shown elsewhere that data attributed to a 1945 Russian autopsy report cited in 1968 by Bezymenski [3-5] are in harmony with Hitler's 1944 head and jaw X-rays which, after much search and research, were located through the cooperation of the Captured Record Branch of the U.S. Na- tional Archives and Records Service [2]. This discovery was followed by a detailed comparison with other dental data, as reported at the 6th International Conference on Forensic Sciences in Edinburgh in 1972 and subsequently published in early 1973 by Sognnaes and Str6m [6]. Similarly, the dental data elicited regarding Martin Bormann's dental condition, based on dental diagrams prepared by Dr.

    American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler’s Death Undergraduate Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in History in the Undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Kelsey Mullen The Ohio State University November 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Alice Conklin, Department of History Project Mentor: Doctoral Candidate Sarah K. Douglas, Department of History American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler’s Death 2 Introduction The fall of Berlin marked the end of the European theatre of the Second World War. The Red Army ravaged the city and laid much of it to waste in the early days of May 1945. A large portion of Hitler’s inner circle, including the Führer himself, had been holed up in the Führerbunker underneath the old Reich Chancellery garden since January of 1945. Many top Nazi Party officials fled or attempted to flee the city ruins in the final moments before their destruction at the Russians’ hands. When the dust settled, the German army’s capitulation was complete. There were many unanswered questions for the Allies of World War II following the Nazi surrender. Invading Russian troops, despite recovering Hitler’s body, failed to disclose this fact to their Allies when the battle ended. In September of 1945, Dick White, the head of counter intelligence in the British zone of occupation, assigned a young scholar named Hugh Trevor- Roper to conduct an investigation into Hitler’s last days in order to refute the idea the Russians promoted and perpetuated that the Führer had escaped.1 Major Trevor-Roper began his investigation on September 18, 1945 and presented his conclusions to the international press on November 1, 1945.

Construidas a partir de dos estéticas narrativas contrapuestas —una posépica minimalista por un lado, una recuperación discursiva de la épica peronista por el otro—, las dos películas comparten, sin embargo, una mi- rada idealizadora sobre las figuras de Juan Domingo y Eva Perón.

  • The Maritime Voyage of Jorge Juan to the Viceroyalty of Peru (1735-1746)
    The Maritime Voyage of Jorge Juan to the Viceroyalty of Peru (1735-1746) Enrique Martínez-García — Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas* María Teresa Martínez-García — Kansas University** Translated into English (August 2012) One of the most famous scientific expeditions of the Enlightenment was carried out by a colorful group of French and Spanish scientists—including the new Spanish Navy lieutenants D. Jorge Juan y Santacilia (Novelda 1713-Madrid 1773) and D. Antonio de Ulloa y de la Torre-Giralt (Seville 1716-Isla de León 1795)—at the Royal Audience of Quito in the Viceroyalty of Peru between 1736 and 1744. There, the expedition conducted geodesic and astronomical observations to calculate a meridian arc associated with a degree in the Equator and to determine the shape of the Earth. The Royal Academy of Sciences of Paris, immersed in the debate between Cartesians (according to whom the earth was a spheroid elongated along the axis of rotation (as a "melon")) and Newtonians (for whom it was a spheroid flattened at the poles (as a "watermelon")), decided to resolve this dispute by comparing an arc measured near the Equator (in the Viceroyalty of Peru, present-day Ecuador) with another measured near the North Pole (in Lapland). The expedition to the Equator, which is the one that concerns us in this note, was led by Louis Godin (1704-1760), while Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) headed the expedition to Lapland. The knowledge of the shape and size of the Earth had great importance for the improvement of cartographic, geographic, and navigation techniques during that time.
